I am so sorry for your lose.
Marsha was so much fun to work with at Caseys and the public loved to see her there. There were very few people that she did not know and have something kind to say about them. She was a very kind person and loved her family. She loved telling me about her grand children and loved attending their events.
Marsha will be missed
Darwin & Family:
I’m sorry to read of your wife’s/mother’s death. May all of the wonderful memories you have give you some consolation during this time of grief. May each of you receive the Good Lord’s Peace & Comfort.
So many fond memories of Marsha as students at CHS and then for me (Carla) as a colleague. Loved her hugs! In our prayers,
Rachel, John and Catherine, Carla Doug and Ben, Diane, Brent and Suzanne, Renne and Brit
Sorry for your loss. Marcia always had a smile that was contagious. She was a women of strength and courage. She may be gone but not forgotten. May her loving spirit live in us all. Love and prayers
I have such fond memories of the fun times & talks Marcia and I had sitting in the back (which was the best place & the most fun) of the school bus on the long trips to & back home from CHS. Our route always picked us up first & then dropped off last going home.
With deepest sympathy for your loss,
Tacey
